2 Responses to “Prepaid cell phones - Do you use them?”

I use a T-Mobile prepaid cellphone. It has cost me $275 for the last 4 years of service, including the phone, and I'm really happy with it. I don't use a whole lot of minutes--I mostly keep my phone for emergencies and quick, necessary calls.

T-Mobile does this great thing where if you buy a $100 card, which gives you 1000 minutes, any minutes you add on extend the term of your minutes for another year. So, I buy one $100 card for a year, then the week before it's supposed to expire, I buy another $10 card and extend my minutes out for another year. Two years of emergency phone service for $110!

I use Tracfone. It's working out to be roughly $0.09 per minute, or say, $9 for 100 minutes. It's not difficult at all to get about $0.10 per minute, and so far, I am quite happy with this arrangement.
